It's not going to stop the genocide, obviously, but would you rather they just shut up and put up with it? Would you rather they supported Israel?

This is a show of solidarity.

The more there are, the more emboldened others are to do it too. The more people condemning genocide, the more likely politicians are to do something about it. Particularly if those people have public followings of their own.

"I never wanted to stay in my small town"

"Uprooting for adventure is one thing"

Y'alls reading comprehension is pish.

You were looking for a reason to leave. I covered that in my comment, "Uprooting for adventure is one thing".

OP's comment reads like sigma male bullshit, essentially saying "I worked harder and smarter than everyone else, they just didn't have the work ethic I do". It's wank. It repulses me, therefore the phrase "makes me feel sick".

I'm judging/telling people what to do?

Did you not read the post I responded to?

Most of my classmates seemed to just want to check boxes and expect a career to happen.

Some people in my personal experience seem unwilling to do what’s necessary to make their degree worthwhile.

you really have to find ways to convince employers why you’re different.

I said in a sick world where money is our master would moving in the pursuit of dollars be insanity. Moving for other reasons is not what this post is about. So what do you think I was implying by that? It is normal, sometimes even necessary, for people to do this, what do you think I'm trying to say about the world?

Boot licking is chasing the shareholders/masters in the hope that they'll treat you right and give you a few more dollars per hour than you would working in your home town. A few more dollars than your peers. Boot licking is defending this sick fucking system that we live under where Trumps, Zuckerbergs, and Musks rule the world because money is our master.

Great jobs? Doing what? Licking boots?

Uprooting your entire life, saying goodbye to all of your friends, family, community, home, all for the pursuit of some dollars, that's insanity. Only in a sick world where money is our master is that viewed otherwise.

Uprooting for adventure is one thing, uprooting for work is not the same.

Your comment sounds like some AI generated LinkedIn status and it makes me feel sick.

Where has this narrative that Mozzila is poor come from?

They can afford to make this decision based on philosophy.

They're not Apple rich, but they're not struggling for money. They would just rather give it to their executives than use it wisely

This is from Bathory's third album artwork, if only it was from the previous album, it's called "The Return......"

Nice one, go kids!

Driving (hell, even cycling, I've been almost squashed more than once) anywhere near a primary school during the start or end of the school day is an absolute nightmare because of all the mum-mobiles fighting to get as close to the gates as they can. They're so stressed about getting their little cherub into their BMW ChildSquasher9000 that they forget to look at the road or their surroundings.

Unless you're in a small rural town or village, most the students at a primary school are within walking distance of school. So let them walk. Give them exercise, freedom, community, fresh air. Get P6s and P7s, brothers and sisters, to walk with P1s and P2s. Or if you're that scared of kid-snatchers, park at home, walk to the school, and walk home with them, get some exercise and fresh air yourself. Or even better, cycle!

I see literally no downsides to this initiative.

Here's a documentary on their purge of the left for anyone interested:

The Labour Files

Shares of the vote in general elections since 1832 received by Conservatives[note 1] (blue), Liberals/Liberal Democrats[note 2] (orange), Labour (red) and others (grey)[1][2][3]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_general_elections

The Conservatives forming from a split in the Liberal party doesn't mean they're the same thing.

Labour and Liberal Democrats are two very different parties. Or at least they used to be, until New Labour became a thing...

Our politics are bad, FPTP is bad, but we're not a 2 party system entirely. The Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, and Reform all manage to have a say in politics and how things are done. They all influence Labour and the Conservatives.
